Does someone have a good explanation of how the winning percentages are determined?

For example, why do I get 68% of someone's credits sometimes and 6% other times? Is that just a random percentage generator, or is it based off some of the attack / defense / credit numbers?
Is it based off the number that are "safe" in the vault?

What about % of machines destroyed?

I think it's just your failed vs. successful attacks, doesn't calculate loots and machines and stuffs.

I mean when it's reporting the results it says something like

63% of credits claimed

13% of targets infected machines destroyed

(numbers taken from here)

Oh, I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's proportional to your attack power vs. their mhz. The bigger the difference, the more loots you'll get.

It's very random. Attacked one player, got 3173 credits (13% I think)
Attacked same person again instantly, got 12,741 credits.

 
lol just got back from class with 5 fresh IPs and obtained ~35k in loot.

Spent it all so if one of them comes back for vengeance they get nothing but the satisfaction of destroying 2% of my machines 😛

Grats Sumguy!
 
Whats everyone's best hack so far? My best is just over 44k in one attack. The last 5-10 hacks though I haven't gotten hardly anything.
 
Hey fellas.

I focused my 3 sets of 5 clean IPS attacking LUE and WhatCD members who were ranked 250 to 400.

I haven't been getting much credits from my successful attacks. (89.7% success rate.) Could most of the ATot crew be, could we be hitting the same targets numerous times?

At this point, I'm going to try to cherry pick and hit those guys ranked 500 to 700.

Let me know if anyone else is hitting that ranked range and I'll leave your targets alone.

Thx in Adv!
 
getting harder to find any credits. 🙁

I'm spreading further and further from my page, but I'm ending up with small amounts of loot, if any. Also avoiding pages with a high concentrations of ATers.

back in the Ikariam days, I remember that you could expect Islands within 1/2 day's travel of someone like Kaygee or SSSnail to be barren wastelands of decimated armies and empty coffers; so I'm returning to an old strategy of finding potential plunder.

I had the same problem, I started hitting guys in the last 5 pages or so and have gotten 20-40k several times. Just get lucky sometimes.

Lol, yeah. I hear ya.

I was on Kaygee's, your's and Scwizam's island. And a few other AToters. I never had to worry about being attacked, had a hard time plundering, so I just focused on trading and building my 4 cities.

hmmm, yes, the last couple of pages seem like a good farming spot. I was thinking about it earlier as those would be mostly inactive accounts accumulating credits, though I suppose you don't move up in rank nearly as fast by going after them.

I'm thinking monies is more important...

Aah, the good ol' days! 😀
 
woot! I'm now attacking people in the top 100! (successfully) 🙂

44% of credits claimed.
🙁 0.44(0)=0
He's ranked 91st overall, 20th for bandwidth, 450th for megahertz.

Very nice. I personally was very happy when 5 of my attacks netted me 120k, allowing me to get that upgraded virus without selling anything.

People from first and second page, with defense low enough that I can blast through.

Lol, yeah, how do you chose? =)

My guess is you just pester and stir up the Global Chat within Hackcess. Wait for folks to attack ya, check their rank, then you just pick and choose whom to retaliate within your 'Network Breaches Log.'

Hehe, great strategy Sssnail!
